The car is a '94 GT Coupe, and I'm only replacing the front ones. Not doing it myself, but my mechanic said "get what you want and I'll install everything," so I wanna make sure I get all the parts, and make sure they're the right parts.

Regarding Struts:
I found the following:
365092 (Cartridge)
334378 (Sealed, Right)
334379 (Sealed, Left)

When I search ShowMeTheParts.com/KYB for parts that fit a 94, only the cartridges come up. Will the sealed struts still fit?

Regarding Mounting:
I found the following:
SB103 (Bellow)
SM5372 (Mount)
SM5164 (Kit)

Depending on where I look, SM5372 comes up as either "with rebuildable strut" or "all applications." Will it fit both?

The kit seems to be fine for both sealed and rebuildable everywhere I looked. Will it fit both?
The kit also says "mount comes with bearing" and the price doesn't make much sense (higher than $[SB103] + $[SM5372]). That's telling me it's not just SB103 and SM5372 thrown in a box... so what's the difference?

I'm also planning to get a camber kit and saw a recommendation for this Eibach kit. Are there better ones out there?

That covers the strut, mount, bellows, and camber kit... am I missing anything?

I use the GR2 myself. Cartridges in the front, full replacements in the back.

Fronts are easy install, put'em on a vice, turn the cap off, and slap the new carts in.

For your mount question. There is a bearing that the mount resides on, OEM replacement is about 20-25 via dealer.

The boot I believe sits on the strut shaft...I dont' have them on mine, havn't noticed a diff or any noise without them. I think they are to keep the strut internals clean...not quite sure.

If you goto this link: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=60744

Part: 48559-20080 - I believe is the boot.

Part: 90903-63002 - Is your bearing.
